MCPC stands for Multiple Channel Per Carrier. MCPC is a form of satellite transmission where each carrier is utilized to transmit multiple channels. MCPC transmits multiple video or audio channels on one carrier by utilizing Time Division Multiplexing (TDM). The alternative to MCPC is SCPC (Single Channel Per Carrier). MCPC is used much more than SCPC because it makes much more efficient use of expensive satellite bandwidth.

For unknown reasons, laptop keyboards tend to get dirtier than desk top keyboards. One of the reasons might be because of the mobility that comes with using a laptop–people go outside with them and dust and dirt can get underneath the keys. Regardless, it is important to clean them so that they don't stick. A clean keyboard functions so much better than a dirty one. Cleaning Keyboard Without Removing Keys The simplest way to clean a keyboard without removing the keys is to buy a can of compressed air. Aim Read More

While many of us labored to learn geography in school, we always wondered why it mattered. Here are some reasons why a sound understanding of geography is more important today than ever before. Politics We live in a world that is shaped by the political climate in various locations around the globe. In order to understand the mindset of modern day politicians, we can often get valuable clues by looking at the present geography of the country, state, or province they serve. At some point in time, that geography was Read More

Cold fusion refers to fusion reactions that occur at room temperature under normal pressure, using ordinary, simple devices. Fusion Fusion happens when two atomic nuclei come together to form a new, heavier nuclei. This is not easily accomplished because of a basic scientific principle: oppositely charged particles attract while similarly-charged particles repel each other. Since atomic nuclei (as in hydrogen protons) are similar-charged particles, their natural tendency is to repel each other and thus prevent fusion reaction. Scientists have discovered, however, that this natural repelling action turns into a powerful Read More

A TCP optimizer is a program designed to optimize your Internet connection by tweaking the Windows registry settings. It provides an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for optimizing the TCP and IP settings in the Windows registry. TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol. It is a connection-oriented protocol that provides reliable transfer of data. It is the main protocol utilized in IP networks. Whether you are using a dial-up or broadband connection, a TCP optimizer can be efficiently used to optimize the speed of the connection. It accomplishes this by finding Read More

A load balancer is used in computing to evenly distribute tasks across two or more computers, servers, network terminals, CPUs, hard drives, and other devices in order to optimize system resources and maximize the capabilities of all devices connected to the load balancer. Load balances can be used for any purpose, but are generally used to connect multiple servers together over the same Internet connection in order to maintain browser-based services and provide a consistent connection for all users who are accessing those servers. How Load Balancers Work Load balancers Read More

One of the oldest ways in which humans have created electricity is via coal energy conversion. The fundamental reason for this is that coal is an easy resource to find and the process for converting coal to electricity is a straight forward one. However, environmentalists have discouraged coal energy conversion in recent years because of its contribution to green house gases and the possibility that it could contribute to global warming. However, a coal power plant can create considerable energy, which is why there are still advocates for coal power Read More

Hard drive data recovery is the process of recovering lost data from a hard drive when the data cannot be readily accessed through normal retrieval methods. Whether the hard drive has locked up or has completely crashed, there is a good chance the data can be recovered with a variety of hard drive data recovering techniques. Reasons for Hard Drive Crashes There could be multiple causes for hard drive failures. A full blown hard drive crash is generally attributed to a hardware issue. The hard drive is a magnetic disc Read More
